Upgrading from 32 bit 6.5 to 64 bit 7.3
What is the best path for upgrading from 32 bit v6.5 to 64 bit v7.3 without having to install in the "Program Files (x86)" folder. I want to install v7.3 in the default installation folder and migrate...

Hi John,
Since our 64-bit installer will most likely consider it a fresh install, just run the new 64-bit installer and furnish your current database connection settings, and LDAP if applicable. (as configured in your existing ROOT.xml)
As always, be sure to make a backup of your database (either natively from the DB or using our migration dump file method as we describe in our documentation) and stop the existing server prior to beginning the upgrade. You may also wanto to carry over any .vmoptions server settings you may have had configured in the previous version.
